About Me

After a recent short stint in LA I moved to Seattle. I have been here for the summer and really like it. I found work very quickly with a company called Seattle Raft and Kayak as their new Outfitting Manager. It is both fun and challenging. This year I am moving towards breaking out with my puppets. My current love project is a traveling puppet theatre called "Gypsy Twig". At this point it is a solo endeavor, not of course, without the assistance of many wonderful people! The performances will be geared towards adults (kids can enjoy too). They will be non-dialogue short character pieces with music or sound. Street theatre and festivals will be my first venues. I am excited to be in such close proximity to the audience. My intention is to express the spiritual journey, in its very many parts. Not sure exactly what that means or what it will look like. I'm thinkin' dark comedy.....?!
